The Dangers of a Poker Run

A poker run is an organized event in which participants visit five to seven checkpoints and draw playing cards. The aim is to have the best poker hand at the end of the run. Many people have had great success in these events, but there are also many risks involved. This article will explain some of these dangers and help you decide whether a poker run is right for you. Poker run rules vary depending on who hosts the event, so they may differ each time the event is held. However, the basic concept is the same. Participants draw five cards from a deck of seven cards. The other two cards will be considered void and used as tiebreakers. The winner is the player with the highest total number of additional cards. The value of the cards is based on the suit of the cards, which ranges from ten to ace. Many people find poker runs a great way to meet new friends. Many bikers also enjoy the social aspect of a poker run. These events often benefit charitable organizations. For example, the Sam Miller Museum hosts poker runs in September. Motorcycle enthusiasts are always looking for an event where they can meet others and play a game of poker for a good cause. Poker runs are also great opportunities to get out and explore new roads. They are a great excuse to get off the beaten path and check out the countryside.

Alone with God…

In His solitary place, Jesus finds the courage to follow God’s will and not His own; to speak God’s words and not His own; to do God’s work and not His own. He reminds us constantly: “By Myself, I can do nothing…for I seek not to please Myself but Him who sent Me. John 5:30. And again “The words I say to you are not just My own. Rather, it is the Father, living in Me, who is doing His work.” John 14:10. It is in this solitary place where Jesus enters into intimacy with the Father, thus His ministry is born.

Know God

Realize That You Are A Sinner.

No matter how good a life we try to live, we still fall miserably short of being a perfect person. That is because we are all sinners. Sin simply means that we can’t measure up to God’s perfect standard of righteousness. The Bible says, “No one is good—not even one.” We cannot become who we are supposed to be without Jesus Christ

About

Greg Lancaster was profoundly impacted by his experiences while ministering alongside Pastor John Kilpatrick, both before and during the Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida. There, he witnessed the powerful movement of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of God’s glory among individuals from across the globe. 

As the founder of Greg Lancaster Ministries (GLM), which fosters a community of interconnected churches, ministers, and believers, he plays a pivotal role in nurturing growth, offering guidance to churches, and building relationships with ministers who feel called to relate for the purposes of our Lord and His church. His ministry is fueled by a deep, personal connection with Jesus Christ, a relationship that Jesus himself emphasized in John 15:5, “I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing.” This relationship has ignited a passion in him to guide others towards their own personal abiding relationship with Christ. 

He is currently the senior pastor of Vine Fellowship Network, a ministry of Greg Lancaster Ministries and brings over three decades of ministry experience, dating back to 1991. His contributions to ministry are extensive and include founding ministries such as Next Step Outback, VFNtv, The Greg Lancaster Show, and The Torch. These efforts have globally disseminated a message of hope and truth rooted in the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Through his television and online broadcasts, he has led people from nations all around the world into a personal, abiding relationship with Jesus Christ. He continues this mission today by leveraging platforms like iAbide.org for online training and utilizing his various ministries. At the heart of all his endeavors is the desire to draw others closer to Jesus—the cornerstone and culmination of our faith—by simply loving God, loving others, and leading others to do the same.
